Reading Fuel That Helped Me Through a Book Drought

A record of the books that once helped me get through a reading slump.

A Serious Reading List, Coming Right Up

Thanks to the books on this list, I've realized that a relaxed, easygoing job suits me better. No brainless plots, no amateurish writing. All gems. A sincere recommendation from an eight-year veteran reader! I've recently gotten into apocalyptic novels, but haven't found many that suit me. Otherwise, I end up dropping them halfway through because the plot falls apart. Please help! My five favorite authors are Gunk, Guizu Chouchou, Chenci Landiao, Sanjie Dashi, and Wang Bugueba. ❤ No brainless si

Novels Worth Opening

I've been reading web novels since "Son of Light", but these days I find it hard to stick with many stories. Here's a list of the novels I can keep reading. I've noticed that a lot of the books I like have been abandoned. What the heck... 190416: I've rated some books based on my gut impression. Anything above 50 is worth checking out when you're at a loss for something to read. Above 60 means it has some flaws, but is still a great read. Above 70 means I often find myself thinking, "Damn, this

Completed Books for My Collection

Sorry, everyone. This list is basically my personal storage space for completed novels, a stockpile of reading material for myself. Every book here is a completed novel I've read and consider good. That's why ongoing books won't make the list, no matter how popular they are. This is a list of completed novels, so I apologize. And feel free to share any other good completed novels you know.

This Is a Reading List

When you're in a reading slump, you finally find a book you like, and it has plenty of chapters, but then you can't finish it. Reading fatigue sets in. When updates are slow, you wish the author would write it all at once, but when you find a really long book, reading a hundred chapters in one go gets tiring. You want a change of pace, and end up losing the anticipation of following the story.

Memorable Finished Masterpieces

I've been reading web novels for over eight years, and I'm sharing some excellent completed ones with everyone. I'll slowly add more by category. Next up: sci-fi (to be continued).

Over a Decade Devoted to Science Fiction: A Collection of Classics, Still Being Updated

A collection devoted to astonishing, high-quality science fiction novels, with some urban fiction mixed in. Some are also included because their authors mysteriously disappeared and left them indefinitely abandoned, making them convenient to visit and pay respects to from time to time. The list mainly features ongoing series, with only one book collected from each author.... Particularly interesting new seedlings will also be added selectively. Good books will take turns being pinned and recomme

My Personal Taste

I read science fiction, anime and manga fanfiction, urban entertainment novels, Three Kingdoms historical fiction, horror and supernatural stories, and more. What matters most is the writing and plot. Updates are irregular, but I look for books every day.

Single-Heroine Novels

Every book here has a single heroine: no naive protagonists and no stupid decisions. The main characters aren't saintly or selfish. These are simply books that suit my taste. I recommend the single-heroine novel A Survival Guide for a Villainous NPC. You can read it on Zhuishu or Boluobao. I absolutely love the leads. The male lead seems timid and playful, but he'll do whatever it takes to survive the story. The heroine is adorably tsundere and fiercely protective of her own.
